Default what $1500 gets ya

hey guys i finally got a phone with a camera so i decided to take some pics and let you guys know what my money has been going into these past several weeks...
Its a 98' T/A auto w/146k miles...it started up but went no where b/c the 4l60e that was put in it was for an lt1 with a 298mm input shaft...
got a trans from a member here for $300 shipped (THANKS MAN) and had it built buy a buddy on a local forum...
so far i have $1500+800 Trans and build+200 tag & title...so $2500 so far and runs badass...
i love the t-tops and ill probably be heading out to the track one of these weekends to get some baselines...
I did the free cold air mod, tb bypass, and ceta mod...
there will be more to come in a few months...hoping to get it in the 12's under $3500...
n2o, 373's and some 315's out back
BTW-anyone have pics of these wheels painted glossy black?

Get lower control arms and a torque arm or you will be wheel hopping.
